Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital1994

In an October 1994 report, the Commission revealed a tableau of waste,
fraud, theft and corruption in which the squandering of taxpayer dollars
virtually had become business as usual. The report prompted the
Department of Human Services to send special review teams to Marlboro
and other state institutions, and on February 23, 1995,the
department confirmed serious problems across the board in inventory
control, the granting of sick leave/injury benefits, purchasing and
fiscal oversight. The findings suprred a number of systemic reforms in
those and other key areas. Utilizing the Commissionís evidence, the
department also disciplined six Marlboro employees, dismissing two.
